@Basile_01 : Game is up!

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I have a question about airplanes movement. When using airplanes for combat, ALL AIRPLANES must have a valid landing area. Is that correct? A valid landing area includes aircraft carrier. So if a player were to send some planes in a naval battle, you cannot send more planes than your AC capacity (if no other landing area).

EG : Player X attacks a fleet. He possess no island or friendly territory and only two aircraft carriers can move into the area for planes to land. Because of that, the maximum of airplanes (Fighter or Tac) is limited to 4. Is that correct?

I found the following rules :

• An air unit that moves in the Combat Move phase must generally reserve part of its move value for the Noncombat Move phase, at which point it must return to a safe landing spot using its remaining movement.

• list itemAn air unit’s movement in any complete turn is limited to its total move value. Thus, a strategic bomber with a move value of 6 can’t move 6 spaces to get to a hostile space. It must save enough movement points to get to a friendly territory where it can land. A fighter or tactical bomber can move its full 4 spaces to attack in a sea zone instead of saving movement, but only if a carrier could be there for it to land on by the conclusion of the Mobilize New Units phase.

So if my understanding is correct, you cannot send more planes than valid landing zone, and that includes aircraft carriers. This rule is only checked BEFORE the resolution of combat. So an Aircraft carrier could be sunk, but the combat move would still remain valid because it was valid at the time of the player declared its moves.

Let me know if you are interested in playing! (My friend and I are looking for 1-2 person to play against)

Hey!

My friend and I are looking for a person or two to play 1940 global (TripleA, by email).

We consider ourselves to be average players, with no tournament experience. We’ve never used the Bidding system since we are probably not good enough to exploit the Axis’ strength, but we can discuss that later.

We can do a couple moves each day (Thanks to quarantine) and cover for each other if the other person is unavailable.

@surfer : Given Italy’s luck, would you consider doing risky G2? Or play it standard and hope that luck evens out eventually?

Hey everyone!

As espected of UK1, Taranto was launched against the Italian fleet. UK won easily with (remaining troops)

• AC

• 2 Fighters

• 1 Cruiser

On his turn, Italian decided to send everything it had against the fleet in SZ 97, with the goal of attacking Greece.

• 2 fighter

• 1 bomber

• 1 sub

• 1 destroyer

• 1 cruiser

Not only did Italy lose the naval battle, but it lost its entire army except for 1 bomber… All Italy managed to accomplish is a single dice roll, killing a cruiser.

Naturally, Battle of Greece failed, leaving only 1 tank retreating. A weakened Yougoslavia (2 inf left) still managed to score hits on the Italian army… And the attack on Tunisia also backfired, with the single French killing two Italians.
Basically, everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

So… should the Axis surrender? Keep playing? Germany had a pretty lucky G1 killing most of the English boats without losing its subs/battleship, so luck seems to be wild in our game.

Germany could attempt some unfavourable battles on G2 and see if luck can come back to our side / turn the tide of the battle…
